Consolidation and analysis
Remember: February was a spontaneous collapse, not a planned seizure. Keep that distinction in view as you answer.
Q1. Place the following events in order (1–4): abdication of Nicholas II; International Women's Day strikes; Petrograd garrison mutiny; establishment of Dual Power.
Q2. Explain what is meant by "Dual Power" and identify the two bodies involved.
Q3. Why was the mutiny of the Petrograd garrison, rather than the strikes themselves, the point of no return? Explain your reasoning.
Q4. "The February Revolution was caused by the war more than by any long-term weakness of Tsarism." Evaluate this claim in a structured paragraph.
